After the false alarm, the vault of heaven became a public sight.
It was established in January this year and was launched in April this year. It has attracted more than a million fans in just a few months. What is the origin of the sky digital collection? The reporter of the daily economic news noted that this was not the first time that Tianqiong shuzang fell into trouble. In mid May, the price of collections on the secondary market suddenly soared thousands of times, and collections priced at nearly ten million yuan were "sold in seconds". At that time, Tianqiong digital collection announced that it was caused by hacker attacks. Hackers used false balances to falsely buy and steal users' collections.
Less than a month after being attacked by hackers, Tianqiong digital Tibet was "run away" by P chart, which could not help but arouse netizens' emotion: the digital Tibet circle is too chaotic. "Ordinary people don't want to participate in this product. It won't make you rich overnight." On June 7, yinzhentao, director of the financial technology research office of the Institute of finance, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with the wechat reporter.

According to qixinbao, the main operator of Tianqiong digital collection is duoxing (Hainan) Art Trading Co., Ltd., which was established on January 17, 2022, with Han Youbing as the legal representative and a registered capital of 10million yuan. It is worth noting that the company was included in the list of abnormal operations on May 9, because "the registered residence or place of business could not be contacted".
He was attacked by hackers before and "ran away" by the p-chart. In the past month, there have been constant disturbances in the sky, which also reflects the huge risks hidden in the NFT market. How to control the security of digital collections? "During this period, the platform has been frequently attacked by hackers." On June 7, a person familiar with Tianqiong data collection disclosed in a telephone interview with reporters that it is understood that Tianqiong data collection is gathering all technical personnel to continue to optimize and encrypt background data, track down the makers of third-party plug-in software, and focus on preventing hacker attacks.
"It itself is at a high level of risk, and investors and platforms have expectations for such issues." Talking about the Oolong incident of the Tianqiong shuzang, yinzhentao told the reporter that it was no surprise.
On June 7, Yu Baicheng, the president of zero one research institute, told reporters on the phone: "Tianqiong digital Tibet is an NFT platform with certain trading functions. Some investors hope to make money after buying it. If there are price fluctuations, speculation will follow."
According to Baicheng, many NFT trading platforms in the industry are in the process of exploration, so there are certain risks. "For example, the security risk of funds, what if the funds placed on the platform are stolen? There are also technical risks, if the system is hacked or tampered with. In addition, there are regulatory risks. Once it is stopped, the price will probably fall sharply."
Chaos! With a price of nearly 10million
The schoolbag collection was traded for 91 yuan
"At present, digital collections are very hot. In terms of the market, many leading enterprises are making some similar products, but they are basically in the primary market. Under this background, many private enterprises have also entered NFT." Yinzhentao told Meijing that from his personal point of view, "the primary and secondary NFT markets run by private enterprises are basically illegal, and there is a risk of fraud."
Yu Baicheng pointed out to every reporter that South Korea and other countries are exploring the regulation of NFT as securities, and there is no clear regulation on NFT in China.
"It is a good thing to make art an asset. But as long as it becomes an asset, linked to finance, and has interests, criminals will take the opportunity to appear, just like the previous virtual currency and air currency." Yinzhentao analyzed that, in essence, NFT is a financial product. "It securitizes a kind of cultural product and a kind of underlying asset, and then issues it through the market. It not only realizes the pricing of unpriced assets, but also allows it to carry out certain circulation."
At present, the NFT market is full of chaos. Yinzhentao believes that "in essence, there are a large number of gangs who take the risk of illegal and criminal activities to cheat. At the same time, many users hold unreasonable investment and financial management ideas and dream of making a fortune one day. This wrong distorted investment idea will cause this market (chaos)."
On June 7, every time the reporter saw a collection of "good study · schoolbag" with a price of nearly 10million yuan in the hanging Market of Tianqiong digital collection app, the circulation records showed that its transaction price on May 22 was only 91 yuan.

"It is difficult to judge the value of NFT's products. They are not professionals and cannot be evaluated at all. Individual investors think this is an opportunity, but they do not understand it. Blind speculation is risky." Yu Baicheng told reporters that digital collections are a high-risk market and need a strong professional awareness threshold.
Yinzhentao also suggested: "NFT is a kind of venture capital. Ordinary people don't want to participate in it. It won't make you rich overnight. People with certain investment experience and investment ability can buy some NFT assets issued by large factories, state-owned enterprises and central enterprises with artwork value behind them. Many digital collections made by private entrepreneurial teams are not artistic creation, and they may not even have artists behind them, let alone the artistic value of the collections."
